Information About

Bobovac




The city was built during the reign of Ban Stjepan II Kotromanić and was first mentioned in a document dating from 1349 . It shared the role of seat of the rulers of Bosnia with Kraljeva Sutjeska , however Bobovac was much better fortified than the other.

Bobovac contained the crown jewels of Bosnia as well as being the burial site for a few of the kings of Bosnia. These were Stjepan Ostojić , Tvrtko II Kotromanić and Stjepan Tomaš .

King Stjepan Tomašević moved the royal seat to Jajce during his war with the Ottoman Empire . The Ottomans invaded the city in 1463 . Its fall hastened their conquest of the entire nation.

Bobovac is now a protected cultural site. HKD Napredak releases a monthly magazine called Bobovac for the Croats of Vareš.
